Barling was second, this being another repetition of a Doncaster 
success. The third prize went to Mr. Wolton’s Matchett, which 
thus improved upon her reserve card at Doncaster. 
Class 39, for Suffolk fillies foaled in 1890, so impressed 
the Judges that they commended the class. Taking them 
throughout, they were the best lot of two-year-old fillies the 
Judges had seen for years. Mr. William Byford’s Lady, Messrs. 
Wilson’s Matchett, and Mr. Alfred J. Smith’s Dainty Bolly ob- 
tained the solid awards in the order indicated. 
Agricultural Horses. — There were five entries in Class 40, 
and two in Class 41. Class 40, for agricultural geldings foaled 
in 1889, got by a stallion registered in the Shire Horse Stud 
Book, brought forward some useful animals, but, owing to the 
demand for good stallions, the class was not so strong as the 
Judges have seen it. The entries came from Lancashire, York- 
shire, Warwickshire, and Berkshire. The first prize went to 
Mr. Henry Lawson’s Briton, and the second to Sir Humphrey 
De Trafford’s Grange. 
Class 41, for agricultural geldings foaled in 1890, got by a 
stallion registered in the Shire Horse Stud Book, was of no 
gi’oat merit. Mr. Arthur M. Tree took the two prizes. 
Veterinary Examination. — This year the veterinary examina- 
tion of horses, before prizes could be awarded to them by the 
Judges, was for the first time extended to brood mares as well 
as to stallions. The results of this examination are recorded 
in the Appendix, page Ixxx. 
Cattle. 
Shorthorns. — The entries numbered 134, which is about a 
score in excess of the entries at Doncaster last year. Fourteen 
were entered from Scotland, from the counties of Aberdeen and 
Berwick. The rest were exclusively from England, no less than 
26 English counties being represented, namely, Berks, Bucks, 
Cambridge, Cornwall, Cumberland, Essex, Hants, Kent, Lan- 
caster, Lincoln, Middlesex, Monmouth, Norfolk, Northampton, 
Northumberland, Notts, Oxon, Rutland, Salop, Somerset, Staf- 
ford, Warwick, Westmoreland, Wilts, Worcester, and York. 
Amongst the 28 English and Scottish counties, the 20 prizes 
awarded were thus distributed : Berks 3, Worcester 3, Berwick 
2, Cumberland 2, Wilts 2, York 2, and one each to Monmouth, 
Norfolk, Northampton, Northumberland, Oxon, and Westmore- 
land. In addition, the male championship went to Yorkshire 
and the female championship to Berwickshire.
